  Case: Always late
For the third time, a Jeremy arrives to your classroom late (he is in a wheelchair). Your syllabus specifies a reduction in points for repeated tardiness. You feel bad because you do not know if the reason he is late is because of the wheelchair and you don't want to discriminate him just because he is disabled. What should your course of action be?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I respect that you want your class to be equal for all students, but since he is in a wheel chair i would definitely bend the rules for him. Young Jeremy is most likely already having a harder life than most. also, it can be hard for wheel chairs to maneuver in crowded hallways.
